Built
in 1894, the Inn at Smith Cove on Lake Winnipesaukee has been restored
with its spacious piazzas front
and sides. The ivory colored Victorian home trimmed in green presides
over an acre of beautifully landscaped shrubs and flowering patios.

After more than
a decade of welcoming guests to this lovely, quiet spot on New Hampshire’s
largest lake, your hosts Bob and Maria Ruggiero, innkeepers and owners,
know just what makes their guests
feel at home. “Our guests are looking for a getaway to enjoy
our lakefront location and casual, relaxing atmosphere.
We don’t
serve breakfast, but offer coffee and tea every morning so our guests
can choose to sleep in or get an early start to their day. Many of
our guests return every year at the same time and rekindle friendships
made during previous stays. It really is a home-away-from-home! “

Most guest
rooms are located on the second and third floors
of the main house. . . all decorated in their individual Victorian
settings
with private baths and air conditioners and many offering water views. The Tower Suite on the third floor is a suite with a jacuzzi, sitting
room, and bedroom. One guest room, the Emma Room with a queen bed,
2-person Jacuzzi and fireplace, is located on the first floor.

Also
on the first floor of the Inn is an 18' x 26' living room with natural
wood walls set off by wall coverings and draperies of the period and fireplace. Begin
your day with coffee or tea in the living room and make plans for your
day to enjoy a number of Lakes region activities
and attractions, many
located just a short drive from the Inn. Relax on one of the sofas or wing back chairs with a book by the fire, select one of the many board games available or just enjoy some time with family and friends to reconnect. You'll have free access to WiFi throughout the inn to quickly share your experience at Inn at Smith Cove with those who were unable to join you!

Additional accommodations
are found along the pathways which lead to the Lighthouse, housing
a jacuzzi room and sleeping room and a Little
House in the Cove, both being located on the broad expanse of Lake
Winnipesaukee in Glendale, New Hampshire.

For ultimate relaxation,
follow the path to the gazebo, settle into your favorite chair and
watch the boats go by, watch the ducks, read a book or do what most
guests do… listen to the mesmerizing sounds of the lake, the loons and take
a nap!

There are also four cottages available for lakefront vacation
rentals for extended stays in all seasons!
